About this listen

 A hilarious, warmhearted, and swoonworthy romance about two people who are definitely not dating…no matter how often they end up in bed together, from the New York Times bestselling authors of The Unhoneymooners and Love and Other Words.

Hazel Camille Bradford knows she’s a lot to take—and frankly, most men aren’t up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don’t send them running, her lack of filter means she’ll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She’s a good soul in search of honest fun.

Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met—when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes—to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air.

Not that Josh and Hazel date. At least, not each other. Because setting each other up on progressively terrible double blind dates means there’s nothing between them...right? Contemporary Literature & Fiction Romantic Comedy Women's Fiction Dating Funny Witty

This story is promosing but I only got to Chapter 9. I just couldn't listen any more to the male narration of Hazel. He made her sound like a Muppet or Cartoon child character. Too annoying for me, esp in a romance. He was speaking at warp speed and that annoyed me too. Was loving Hazel's different voices. May read this one instead.

Love these Authors but narration spoilt this.

An enjoyable story, with great characters but the male narration as a female voice was almost unbearable. Very nasally, high pitched and childish, I longed for the female narrators turn every time.

Good Story, annoying narration

Love the protagonists, beautifully written, and their friendship is gorgeous. Jayme Mattler was great as Hazel, but Todd Haberkorn’s attempts at female voices were breathy and childish, and made Hazel seem like a ditz. This audiobook would be improved so much if Mattler alone read both parts. But it still gets 5*s because the story is so lovely

Great read

It was a sweet enough read. A little slow to begin with but picks up about 1/3 way in. The male narrator almost made me stop listening. His female voice changed the character from quirky to whiney. Whilst I would read Christina Lauren again, I will avoid this male narrator like the plague. The female did a great job.

Narrator almost wrecks it

I loved reading Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating, so really wanted to give it a go with the Audible version. Glad that I did - the narrators did a great job. I smiled and laughed my way through all of it.

As for the story itself - I love Hazel, LOVE HER! She was so much fun - completely unfiltered and super quirky. Josh was her complete opposite, yet they made such a great couple. Or non-couple, because of course they are busy dating other people rather than each other on their double dates.

great story
